Ice Break Real Coffee Recharge 0-64 Handicap 1733m

Track: HVY8   Clouds (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit.  

Chico Sonado to take charge ahead of Porter setting a solid tempo. PORTER (8) stepped out to a middle distance at Cranbourne and didn't see it out. The form leading into that reads extra well and he'll be much sharper stepping back to this distance. Hits the race at peak and Shinn is a key jockey booking. GIMME GOLD (1) wasn't beaten far at Warrnambool over 1700m showing more like his best. Childs stays aboard and he will be fitter again. The rails gate may not be ideal but he's a decent chance. ZILZIE LAD (6) and SAVEADATEFORME (9) are also going well enough to consider. The former gets a key jockey switch to John Allen and comes off a nose defeat at Moe. The latter has threatened both starts this preparation following the switch from a sharp Sydney yard. Maps for the run of the race. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Porter.
